Research- classwork

In our media lesson today we watched a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho. We watched the famous shower scene. We analysed the scene and commented on the use of music, creation of suspense, camera work, and most importantly the editing. We learnt about continuity editing which is basically how lots of shots are played in a certain way and using certain camera shots to insure that it flows. If a film did not have continuity editing it would look messy and wouldn't really make sense!
We were also given a second handout. The handout outlines production tips for camera work and camera operation. Tomorrow we are spending a whole day attending a media workshop which i am really excited about! I will tell you all about it tomorrow!
